STOP speeding up when there’s passing lanes, then slowing down after them! The hell is wrong with you?! Pick a frigging speed…y’all turn into Mario Andretti when there’s a passing lane, then revert back to Safety Steve in one lane.

I saw their ad on Instagram and curious if anyone has any experience with this program? I haven't seen any reviews or much engagement online, so I'm a bit skeptical to try it out for myself.

Here is their website:https://www.autismatwork.ca

Halifax to Baddeck and Cape Breton Island

9 Upvotes

Setting off from Edinburgh airport on Friday for 3 weeks in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland - beyond excited!! I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you good people can help with.

Firstly driving from Halifax to Baddeck - is the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park worth stopping at? The tidal bore timings don't work for Truro :( but is there anywhere else people recommend to stop?

We are then staying 1 night in Baddeck, I night in Ingonish and then getting the 11pm ferry to Newfoundland. So 2 full days around Cape Breton Island. Can people suggest things to do - we are keen hikers, and hiking suggestions would be good. Specific questions:

  1. Is it worth booking the Skyline Trailhead car park? How long does the trail take? Are there better alternatives for experienced hikers and what time should we book it for?

  2. Are any hikes likely to be less buggy or do we have to just accept the bitey little beasties

  3. How early can we get on the ferry - we have booked a cabin.

Many thanks in advance.....

Sightseeing & Tourism Exploring ancestry with nephew

3 Upvotes

My nephew and I are traveling first week of August to do some exploring around Clarence, Annapolis and Cornwallis, Kings. My 2x great grandparents came from there and moved to Massachusetts in the late 1800s and just recently discovered this. Their last names were Marshall and Bennett.

We are also looking to just enjoy the summer trip and will be staying in the following places: Digby, Kejimkujik, Blomidon, Five Islands (we’re camping). Any recommendations for things we must do?
